A quote from their official statement: "The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the cancer agency of the World Health Organization, has evaluated the carcinogenicity of the consumption of red meat and processed meat… The IARC Working Group considered more than 800 studies that investigated associations of more than a dozen types of cancer with the consumption of red meat or processed meat in many countries and populations with diverse diets…Processed meat was classified as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1), based on sufficient evidence in humans that the consumption of processed meat causes colorectal cancer…The experts concluded that each 50 gram portion of processed meat eaten daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%… After thoroughly reviewing the accumulated scientific literature, a Working Group of 22 experts from 10 countries convened by the IARC Monographs Programme classified the consumption of red meat as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A)…This association was observed mainly for colorectal cancer, but associations were also seen for pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer…Red meat refers to all types of mammalian muscle meat, such as beef, veal, pork, lamb, mutton, horse, and goat. Processed meat refers to meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavour or improve preservation. Most processed meats contain pork or beef, but processed meats may also contain other red meats, poultry, offal, or meat by-products such as blood. Examples of processed meat include hot dogs (frankfurters), ham, sausages, corned beef, and biltong or beef jerky as well as canned meat and meat-based preparations and sauces…” and bacon!

Consider also these recent news reports:"Rates of bowel cancer in young people expected to soar..." (Daily Telegraph UK 2014)."Colon cancer cases rising among young adults..." (American Cancer Society 2015). "bowel cancer in young people is on the rise..." (Bowel Cancer Australia 2015).

Meme-art based on quotes of Dr Jennifer Rooke regards Vitamin B12 Deficiency Statistics in the General American Population - indicative of the Standard American Diet (SAD); plus reports on how most Livestock Factory Farm Animals (bred & raised for meat, dairy, eggs) are likewise Deficient in Cobalamin (B12) and are given Cobalt Supplements in their feed and via injections. Overall debunking the objections from omnivores who wish to claim veganism & vegetarianism is bad; that vegans or vegetarians are unhealthy due to B12 issues.

1/.Dr Jennifer Rooke: "to maintain meat (as) a source of B12 the meat industry now adds it to animal feed, 90% OF B12 SUPPLEMENTS PRODUCED IN THE WORLD ARE FED TO LIVESTOCK… Heavy antibiotic use kills B12 producing bacteria in the guts of farm animals… The Framingham Offspring study found that 39% of the general [human] population may be in the low normal & deficient B12 blood level range... there was no difference between those who ate meat, poultry, or fish & those who did not eat those foods... the highest B12 blood levels were those who were taking B12 supplements & eating B12 fortified cereals… It may be more efficient to just skip [eating] the animals & get B12 directly from supplements…” Source: “Do you need a B12 supplement if you eat meat?” at www.AdvancedLifestyleMedicine.com/?p=1168

2/. "B12 is normally added to diets of all swine..." & "B12 is normally added to diets of all poultry..." "supplementation of cobalt is the normal means of meeting the vitamin B12 requirement of ruminants..." - quotes from www.dsm.com from articles on B12 per animal type.

3/. “Safest Source of B12” is a 2012 clip & article by Dr Michael Greger M.D. – Excerpts: “What’s the best way to get vitamin B12? Well, B12 is not made by plants; it’s not made by animals either. It’s made by certain bacteria, some of which line the guts of animals, of which people eat and drink. But that’s not the best source, because of the baggage that comes along with it.Just like we can’t get the iron in beef without the saturated fat, the protein in pork without lard, the calcium in dairy without hormones; we can’t get the B12 in animals without also consuming stuff we don’t want – like cholesterol. For example, to get 47 micrograms of B12 from eggs, because the absorption is so low, we’d have to literally eat hundreds of scrambled eggs a day. 200 to 400 eggs a day! Do you know how much cholesterol that would be? If you got all your B12 from scrambled eggs, you’d consume 69,000 milligrams of cholesterol—practically your entire year’s worth every day…There has to be a better way!And thankfully, there is: fortified foods and supplements. Not only the safest, but also the most effective. In the U.S. Framingham Offspring Study, one in six meat-eaters between ages 26 to 83 were B12-deficient. The folks with the highest B12 levels weren’t the ones eating the most animal products, but the ones taking supplements, and eating the most fortified breakfast cereal.”Reference: nutritionfacts.org/video/safes…Video Clip is at www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA3Xja…

Climate Change and Food Diet: Many studies show the earth's climate is rapidly changing due to human activities. Overall the planet is getting hotter. We are quickly getting too close to the 2 degree Celsius warming that scientists predict will lead to terrible changes across the planet. We have entered the Sixth Mass Extinction phase. Ecosystems, that we need to survive as we are, are being destroyed on land and in the water. We face a grave future of food and water shortages that will lead to civil strife, mass migration, maybe wars and mass famine. Many people assume it is up to governments to make the necessary changes. But they drag their feet, addicted and beholden as they are to the power and profits of large corporations. The good news is that we, the people, all have the power to easily make the changes required to save what we have left by simply adopting a healthier natural diet. To learn about how we can slow and stop climate change, to shape a better future for all life on earth, see the articles at EatingOurFuture.wordpress.com/
